NC State has a need at linebacker this year, and they also want to establish a foothold in the state of Georgia. One prospect who fulfills both desires is linebacker T.J. Pridemore from Buford High.

Pridemore admits however that NC State has not recruited him as hard as some other schools.

The 6-foot-1, 228-pounder admits he cannot keep track with how many offers he has on the table, but he did name some of the bigger ones. His most prominent offers include West Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Duke, Tennessee and N.C. State.
